...that the drink you might be inclined to have to help calm your nerves after you get home from an aircraft accident might cost you your certificates. That's a "single act generally warranting revocation" of all your certificates. Did you know that? Same if you were the flight attendant on an...

I'll be headed to the ABQ Balloon Festival for the first time this year, October 11-14. Looks like the big airport ABQ and Double Eagle AEG are closest to the event, and down I-25 you'll find Mid Valley (E98) and Alexander / Belen (E80). Any suggestions on best airport to use, and why?

Second weekend in October as usual! Flight line consensus, so you can make your reservations as you depart the 2016 event.

The reservation form just went live 5 minutes ago. Original communications said it would be this afternoon, but they opened it early. Got my reservation done here: https://adsbrebate.faa.gov/RebateReservation.aspx

OK, just kidding, but watching the videos of the Vision SF50 single-engine Jet, I couldn't help but notice that the vents in the SF50 are the exact same part as in my F-150. In this photo, they are rotated 180°, but they do that naturally: you can open them as shown on the right side of the...

Most insurance, financial and wealth advisors will suggest you carry an umbrella liability policy to protect yourself above the limits of your normal policies. And while I can find tons of umbrella policies that cover above the limits of your homeowners or auto policies, I can't find any that...

What are some of the better options for backlighting a new custom metal panel? It must be dimmable of course. I've seen some where the actual lettering of labels seems to be electro luminescent. What's that process called and who does it?

For sale: new (used once) Arctic Air Portable A/C unit. Works great, but I found my plane climbs fast enough (Turbo 182) to negate the benefit of using it. Includes the 42" extension cable / wired remote control unit that lets you control and power it from the front while putting the unit in...

Discuss. Which would you pick and why?

Here's an album with comments on the pictures illustrating a question a DFW aviator named Jeff posed on a Facebook group for North Texas Aviators: The first three pictures progressively zoom in on the old view; the next 4 progressively zoom in on the new view. https://flic.kr/s/aHskDRRbtd...

KRGK is Red Wing Regional Airport. It's the Red Wing, Minnesota airport, as shown on the approach plates. However, this "Minnesota" airport is actually across the river from the town... the airport itself is in Wisconsin. So if you're flying with an EFB, and have Minnesota plates being...

Anybody know of a source for historical US surface analysis charts? I'm thinking about a long cross-country in August from Fort Worth to Seattle, and would like to get a "general feel" of what weather along the route during that time frame has offered up in the past.

I know the standard advice is to always utilize a mask (vs a cannula) up high. FL180 is often used as an altitude above which you should be on a mask... Obviously monitoring one's own and passenger's SpO2 levels and adjusting as needed would be appropriate... Some may need a mask lower! My...

Because the landing strips at 6Y9 (Prickett-Grooms Field) and 3M0 (Gaston's) aren't nearly challenging enough. Jump to time 1m 45s:

Considering only memory, processing, and broadband communications power, duplicating the iPhone back in 1991 would have (very roughly) cost: $1.44 million + $620,000 + $1.5 million = $3.56 million. Very interesting article here: http://www.techpolicydaily.com/communications/much-iphone-cost-1991/

FB members of the North Texas Aviators group can RSVP here. After all the rain this past week, we need to FLY. Lunch is at Ozzie's Cafe, on the field at KOUN. Skyvector link Arrivals / visit 11:00-11:30, we'll plan be seated ~ 11:30am. Ozzie's is a great midwest-style diner in the main...

New, out of box, never used. When I purchased Birdie (my TR182), I had grand plans of making a bunch of videos, but have since changed my mind. My loss, your gain. I've put together a complete package for you: 4 (four) GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition cameras 8 (eight) SanDisk Extreme 64GB...

On behalf of the Management Council, I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you -- but especially our Beta testers -- for your support, encouragement, patience and help during the long process to bring PoA into it's next evolution. Enjoy your new site, and make it a GREAT front porch.

Welcome to the new Pilots Of America! Any time you change from doing things one way to doing them a different way, you're bound to wonder "where is that old feature on this new site?" We've written this guide to help answer some of those questions. How do I "multi-quote" when replying? Hit...
